Notes
Although tracks 3 and 6 are printed as "Album Versions" with their dubnobasswithmyheadman durations of 9:56 and 8:29, respectively, their actual durations on this release (and on other editions of the "Dirty Epic" and "Cowgirl" singles) are about 9:52 and 8:57. This is because here, unlike on the album, they're not segued. On the album, a sustained chord and an additional sequence begins at the end of "Dirty Epic" and continues into the beginning of "Cowgirl".

"Dirty Epic" remains one of my favorite tracks ever. Period. That being said, the mixes of it that comprise a good portion of this single don't even come close to its mastery, eschewing some of its best elements. The "Cowgirl" mixes offer some redemption, as do the bonus tracks "Rez" and "River of Bass". For completists only.
This disc gives you three great tracks from Dubnobasswithmyheadman, along with some so-so remixes.
The two retakes of "Dirty Epic" strike an awkward balance between bouncy techno and the conflicted lyrics of the album version. They're decent, but don't stack up.
Similarly, the "Cowgirl" mixes lack the original's claustrophobic energy. "Irish Pub" is nice enough, but rather directionless. "Winjer mix" doesn't distinguish itself, and could almost be a different song entirely.
Despite the flaws, this release still worth picking up if you can get it for a bargain. It may be sub-par Underworld, but it's still better than most of the cheesy electronica out there.
